CERTIFIED BLACK DIAMOND—Variety No. 17 
WILLHITE'S 
OKLAHOMA GROWN 
CERTIFIED 
BLACK DIAMOND 
Variety No. 17 
We will continue to grow a few hun- 
dred acres of Certified Black Diamond, 
in the state of Oklahoma, (as we have 
done for the past several years), due to 
the fact there is a certain demand for 
seed grown in that state, we having 
built up a good trade on this seed be- 
fore a certification program was estab- 
lished in Texas. The stock this seed is 
grown from was originally our stock. 
These fields are inspected by the state 
inspectors to see that they conform 
with the state inspection laws, as well 
as by us and our inspectors, which 
gives you double protection, usually 
not found in certified seed. They 
were well isolated, even further from 
any other watermelons than the cer- 
tification program calls for. Grown on rich sandy loam, with background of timber which in our opinion 
serves better than distance to halt or stop insects that are the prime cause of mixture. 
These seed come to you in one, five and ten pound sealed bags, already treated with Seed Treatment. 
We cannot break the seal on a bag to ship you a smaller amount than one pound, so please do not 
order less than this amount. This seed should be ready for shipment shortly after December 15, 1953. 
We will be pleased to accept your early booking and ship the seed at a later date. 1 lb. bag $2.35; 
5 lb. bag $2.30 per lb.; 10 lb. bag $2.25 per lb.; over 10 lbs. $2.10 per lb. All plus postage. Remember 
no 25c packages on these seed.
